ok. go change your shorts and switch off those commercial announcements. :roll:
he does a very good live set. has been around for a long time and has recorded some damned good music, but the guy goes too far over the hippy dippy trance line for me and i understand why more goa trance, hippy type acid djs play his stuff way more than hard techno djs.
but anyway, my personal opinion aside, the FACT remains that you just cant call this guy unprofesional. he is to be respected i think.
Oh i do think speedy j is class.
I mean i would love to see him live more than anyone actually.
:love: :love: :love:
Thats a little unfair.
Analogan and Point Blank are hardly trancey.
Im a fan I admit, but implying the un-implyable!!... :nono:
But at least you agree he is to be respected. ;)
I think he's to be cherished and adored.

Ok fair enough.
I guess thats a good thing. And it doesnt mean Jochem plays trance.
It just means people who like trance may alsdo like techno.
But as far as techno goes, he is No.1. I think. :cool: :lol:

how many producers put out a classic just about every year i can't name one producer who has made as many quality tracks as he has. i don't buy many of his tracks at the moment though got a bit bored with the sound he's doing a the moment. i am waiting for him to make another switch in style and hoping it will be a good one as he has done many a times in the past
woa, analogon and point blank, trance??
just because they have super long buildups, does not make it trance.
its still loop driven, percussion based, TECHNO. there are no melodies, just rhythm. just because he drops the kickdrum for a long break, doesnt make it trance. as a matter of fact, i think that the only thing that those 2 tracks and trance have in common, are the fact that they all have long breakdowns.
its techno all the way. you can argue that its may be "progressive techno" if you want to lable it, but no way is it trance.
point blank is in my opinion, one of the best techno tracks ever written. ever. its a bloody masterpiece. a techno masterpiece.
dude. they are techno tracks. i never said they were trance, i just said that all the trance kids love em. why do you think that is? like you said, BIG BREAKS AND BUILDS, but that alone doesnt give it the ghey trance feeling. i happen to think its all the bright flangers etc., but who the f@ck cares? those trax get played by trance DJs because they feel like trance.
as does alot of speedy j material in my opinion.
GJ
the main point for me is that he doesnt use a computer sequencer ,every tune is a live jam tidyied up. which is good
Regardless of any comments above, electric deluxe still owns :lol:
sorry mate, i just saw someone arguing that it wasnt trance, and i thought somewhere in this thread someone claimed that it was trance, so i went off a bit. i wasnt arguing with anythin you said...i agree with what you said. spose i should read the whole thead next time.Quote:

and yea, electric deluxe is great :)
Electric Deluxe.
Pannik.
Krekc.
Krikc.
Analogan.
Point Blank.
Ignition Key.
Collabs 100//200
Tanga.
Bugmod.
These are all AMAZINGLY TOTALLY MASSIVE tunes that you cant "accidently" produce. The guy is a genius. And if trance kids like it, so be it.
That was my original post. That Jochem is no.1
Someone made a good point earlier about a "new style". It would be interesting to see what he takes his mind to - no doubt it will be equally as amazing as Loudboxer and Shocking Hobby.
I love the man.
Get your hands on the mp3 of his Time Warp Live Pa.
That's what I call a motherf*cking Live Pa.
Contest me on this I dare you.
Speedy J is king, I said it.
i saw speedy j and it was ok. i enjoyed it.
his techno is soft in comparison to the other stuff he makes which is really good music.
king.. meh. mad respect though.
if speedy j is trance, i'll eat my right foot :crackup:
i remember first becoming aware of speedy with his first track on the plus 8 label. there was a track you could play at 2 different speeds. woooooahhhh that blew me away.
since then he's impressed me over and over again. i love the way he took a break from techno for a bit and produced a whole heap of weird electronica. then came back to techno with a revamped approach. respect. that must have taken some guts.
i think when ppl talk about legends they mention mills, perhaps atkins, but noone really says about speedy j until a thread like this comes up.
i for one say he is a legend.
public energy anyone? oh god i need a tissue :)
As you can see, Im new to the forum so I searched for topics Im interested in and Jochem was one of them - number 1 in fact.
So I used it as an opportunity to share my view with like minded people only to get shot down by someone saying he isnt all that.
Im glad all y'all have come up in support of me! He IS the KING, you said it, I said it...and thats all their is to it!!
:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
got this the other day.Quote:

for me its the best type of techno to listen to. the techno he makes as i would say has 'got balls to it' :lol:. if i come across a new speedy tune in a shop itll probably be the only record that i will analyse fully,listen to all of it in the 1 sitting.his techno just grabs you and rips you to shreds on the dancefloor.
ive also noticed too that i never seem to get bored of hearing his tracks no matter how much i hear them out.obviously 90% of tunes you can get sick of hearing after theyve been pumped into your ears non stop but these tunes just keep you hooked constantly and makes you go nuts everytime you hear them out. for me thats what makes a classic track.
:clap:
seen Speedy J 4 times & he never fails.
brilliant producer, live act & general example of how t0o do it right...
and a very nice bloke as well...
Legend indeed :clap:
thanks, im going to download it today. i remember listening to one of his old live pa's at coccoon club, and it blew me away. this was before i even owned any of his records. then i went on a mad speedy j binge and bought everything by him i could get my hands on.Quote:

it is my goal in my partying life to see him at least once. hopefully he is in australia next year when i am there

there's a lot more to this man than the loudboxer style he's been doing recently.
he was quite trancey once , but now it's heads down techno all the way
saw him at atomic jam doing his public energy stuff a few years ago and he rocked!!!!
always been a fan , still am.
yeh the old stuff i have heard i like the most:)
great producer still. :clap:
cant wait to see him at voodoo v atomic jam ( well if i can afford it)
:love: :love: :love:
you thinkin of rollin down to voodoo then eh?dedication if you do!
ill be down the front givin it some so come say hello. :cool:
I'd be really interested to hear in what he is playing nowadays.
I guess he is still on the Loudboxer thing - but hangin with anticipation for what his new style will bring. He has managed to amaze every step of the way so no doubt this wont be any different.
Any punts on what the "new" will be ? :!: :!:
